<p>Don’t limit yourself to one college. This will cause you SO much unneeded stress! Research and visit colleges with good architect programs of all competitive levels and give yourself options!</p>
<p>I have had a similar problem with anxiety and depression affecting my grades. I was a straight A student, depression and anxiety got bad, tried homeschooling, small christian private school, public school, special ed, EVERYTHING! and ended with a 3.2 GPA. I could be depressed about it and give up, BUT there are too many roads to success to just give up!</p>
<p>If you really have your heart set on WashU and get rejected, you can always pick your second choice, or even community college to save money and THEN transfer the next year. </p>
<p>If there is still time, retake the ACT or even try the SAT. Some people find one easier than the other.</p>
